Penguins Goalie Tristan Jarry Reveals His Goal For Season After Shutout Win

Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry knew he had to be better this season after last year’s disappointment, which saw him get put on waivers and sent down to the AHL.

Entering this season, Jarry knew he had to improve to help Pittsburgh get more wins this season.

Ahead of the season, Jarry said his goal was to have better starts and put the Penguins in a position to win. On Saturday, Jarry did just that as he stopped all 31 shots he faced as Pittsburgh shut out the San Jose Sharks 3-0.

“One of the things I wanted to improve on from last year was improving my starts,” Jarry said postgame on Saturday. “Improving my starts for the team. I think this year, I’ve done a good job of that.”

With the shutout win, Jarry improved to 2-1 with a 2.35 GAA and a .922 SV% this season, a major improvement from last year’s struggles. The 30-year-old was pleased with his performance, as was Penguins head coach Dan Muse.

Muse believes Pittsburgh is starting to build something special and is impressed with the early stages of the season.

“The season is still really young. We are still in the early stages, but we are seeing some of that foundation being built of what we want to continue to build on,” Muse said.

The Penguins improved to 4-2 on the season with the win Saturday. Pittsburgh will return to the ice Tuesday when they host the Vancouver Canucks.
